What TAC com does

TAC com (legal name Théâtre à la carte inc.) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 1984 in Montreal, Quebec, that designs and delivers custom corporate training, video production, simulations with professional actors, event animation, and advisory services. The company serves enterprise, government, healthcare, and educational clients across Quebec, with a documented client roster that includes Airbus, Desjardins, Hydro-Québec, Ville de Montréal, Barreau du Québec, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, CIUSSS healthcare networks, and the Quebec Ministry of Education. Its core offerings span five integrated product lines: asynchronous online training (Formation en ligne), in-person experiential training (Formation en salle), full-service video production (Production vidéo), actor-led role-play simulations, and custom event animation.

The firm's technical model is built around human-centered content production rather than software platforms. Production combines pedagogical design, storyboarding, professional video equipment, e-learning authoring tools (e.g., Storyline), motion graphics, 2D animation, and live acting for simulations; the company deliberately uses trained actors instead of avatars or synthetic voices. TAC com operates as a services firm rather than a SaaS vendor, with no publicly disclosed proprietary technology platform, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Core technology is described only as professional video production equipment and e-learning authoring tools.

TAC com monetizes through project-based professional services contracts, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed and multi-year contract cadences. Sales are driven through direct enterprise engagement via a website contact form, supplemented by case studies, client testimonials, and social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube). The company has a core team of 1–10 listed employees and operates with a network of approximately 60 vetted collaborators (screenwriters, trainers, directors, editors, actors) engaged on a project basis. Over its 40-year history it has completed more than 3,000 mandates and reached over 1 million learners. The company has remained independent, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity.

TAC com designs and delivers turnkey custom online training, in-person experiential training, corporate video productions, professional-actor simulations, and event animation for organizations. Services span pedagogical design, scriptwriting, professional actor casting, filming, multimedia integration, post-production, facilitation, and advisory, delivered both virtually and on-site primarily throughout Quebec.

TAC com operates as a unified services firm offering five integrated training and communication products: Online Training (Formation en ligne), In-Person Training (Formation en salle), Video Production, Simulations with professional actors, and Custom Event Animation. These services are designed to work independently or in combination, providing turnkey or modular solutions from pedagogical design through final production and delivery.

Direct peers

• Dale Carnegie Training: Global corporate training organization with a long-standing experiential methodology for leadership, communication, and soft-skills training. Comparable to TACcom in the use of instructor-led, emotionally engaging delivery rather than purely digital e-learning, and in serving enterprise and institutional buyers.
• Forum Corporation: Long-established corporate learning and development firm focused on leadership and customer-facing skills for global enterprises. Comparable in custom program design, enterprise GTM, and emphasis on training effectiveness rather than content libraries.
• Crucial Learning: Training company combining former VitalSmarts, Crucial Conversations, and others, delivering courses on leadership, communication, and influence. Comparable to TACcom in soft-skills training focus and in institutional/government adoption of training curricula.
• Sandler Training: Franchised global training organization focused on sales, leadership, and interpersonal skills delivered via instructor-led and experiential formats. Comparable in the use of behavior-change methodology, repeatable training frameworks, and enterprise buyer profile.
• Second City Works: The corporate training arm of The Second City improv theater, offering actor-led, scenario-based learning for communication, leadership, and inclusion. This is the closest functional peer to TACcom's professional-actor simulation methodology and human-centered storytelling differentiator.
• Wilson Learning: Global provider of sales, leadership, and employee performance training with both custom and off-the-shelf programs. Comparable to TACcom in targeting enterprise L&D and HR buyers with measurable business outcomes and in combining consulting with content delivery.
• BTS Group: Publicly-listed consulting firm specializing in business simulations and experiential learning for sales, leadership, and strategy at large enterprises. Comparable to TACcom in using scenario-based, narrative-driven simulations to drive behavior change rather than delivering generic e-learning content.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Large, publicly-traded digital learning platform offering content, virtual classrooms, and leadership development at global scale. Comparable as a competitor for enterprise training budgets, but differentiated from TACcom by being software- and content-library-led rather than custom human-actor productions.
• Articulate: Provider of e-learning authoring tools (Storyline, Rise) widely used by corporate training teams to build online courses internally. Comparable in the online training and e-learning authoring space, but competes as an enabling platform rather than a custom content producer like TACcom.

Regional players

• Langevin Learning Centres: Canadian training provider focused on professional and language skills development across corporate and public-sector clients. Comparable to TACcom as a fellow Quebec/Canada-based experiential training firm, though with a different emphasis on language and office-skills rather than actor-led simulations.
